The Team
Karen Turley (Founder)
I have over 20 years teaching and advisory experience in both mainstream and special school environments and have supported many families in their homes creating opportunities to improve communication, play and addressing behaviour concerns. I have delivered SEN workshops to a variety of community settings and am passionate about getting it right for our children, their families and the communities in which they live, play and learn. I will always spend time getting to know and understand each child, family and community group so that what we do works for everyone at every stage.

I have been working with children who have additional needs for over 20 years and have always focused on supporting them in a way that allows them to find their potential and develop independence. I have worked with children of all ages in school and in the community and am very excited to now be able to offer my skills and experience to many more families.
